1. Kraig Rasmussen, thanks for being our guest on the AIPT Comics podcast. To start, what made now the right time for The Monkeygong Comics Club?

3. Tell us about the books you have coming in the first wave of MCC.
4. Your sci-fi work is trippy and out there, how would you describe your art and approach to sci-fi?
5. You’re also mailing comics and sketches to folks, how big is your operation to get all this content out there?

7. Are you an avid comics reader, what are you reading right now?
8. Where else can people find your work?
